Chapter 216 This Is A Gift
Baron looked at Hardon like he was nothing important. Hardon's expression was instantly gloomy to the extreme after he heard Baron's arrogant response. But he still endured it without breaking out.
He saw Baron make a print of his palm on the table with his bare hands. That was enough to show his real strength.
None of them could be the opponent of Baron in a fight.
"Very well, you are the first one among the younger generation who doesn't give me any respect!"
Hardon finished his sentence, after that was a long awkward silence.
His lackeys were startled, the situation has reached an impasse, they didn't get enough courage to make a single movement. Everyone knew that Hardon is not the kind of person who would bear suffering, and he wouldn't ignore such matter.
"Hardon, here, I toast to you!"
At this time, Marry rushed forward, picked up the wine glass, and offered a toast to Hardon.
With Marry to handle this difficult situation before things could get out of control, Hardon's felt a little relieved. He raised his wine glass and toasted to Marry, and drank it boldly. "Hardon is still pretty upstanding, unlike someone, who has no manner at all, and don't know how to toast properly. Hardon deserves to be the successor of the Maguire family."
Marry said with a slight smile, she kept praising Hardon while showing her passive-aggressive attitude towards Baron.
She soon seemed to be afraid of Baron breaking out by her words, so she just cast an eye over Baron to secretly feel reassured that he didn't react to it, then Marry breathed a sigh of relief. "Hah-hah, Marry is right. Hardon is an outstanding guy and that's why he is the heir of the Maguire family, you know, haha..."
"Come on, let's all give Hardon a toast!"
Some people took the lead to raise their glasses, except for Baron and Tracy, everyone else got up.
Tracy was having butterflies in her stomach at that moment. She knew she might have no chance to talk about cooperation after what just happened between them and these people. Tracy knew it would be a huge impact on her reputation as these people were the giants in Kato after all. And she might still have to deal with them one day in Cona for some business matters anyway. Baron acted like nothing happened, he was just eating and drinking however he wanted.
Spending the whole afternoon with Tracy got him starving. The fish and glazed meat dishes on that table tasted real good.
"Marry, nice one! I didn't know you can hold your liquor so well."
A guy from one of the wealthiest families just received the toast from Marry with a smile.
Marry replied him happily, "I often come here with my dad as he talked about business with his partners, and I have been practicing drinking all the way!"
"Oh? Do you mean you often come to Spring Garden Restaurant, Marry?"
The rest of the people were listening closely.
Marry drank a lot, and her tone had obviously changed. She responded, "This is the best restaurant in Kato, and I am a VIP of this place. Apparently, I do often come."
"Spring Garden Restaurant is the property of the Brook family. They have branches in many cities. It doesn't matter if you are a billionaire or trillionaire, if you are not building close enough relationship with the owners or any member from the family, you wouldn't be able to be a VIP in this place!" Someone explained while being shocked.
"Since you know that this is the property of the Brook family, then you should know the relationship between the Brook family and the Henderson family in Jako, right?" Marry suddenly became interested.
"I heard that the Brook family is an affiliated partner of the Henderson family. The Brook family uses their resources to run the business. It is said that the Brook family has to pay a portion of the profits to the Henderson family annually?" That person said.
Marry immediately took out an exquisite VIP membership card, and showed proudly, "Yes, and my membership card was a gift from the Henderson family!" Everyone looked stunned and envious, "That means the Jackson family has a close relationship with the Henderson family!"
"Yes, my membership card was given by the Henderson family, but I am a bronze member which is at the lowest level, so I wouldn't be showing off that any more. Hardon got the gold one, the higher-level VIP." Marry realized that she was probably too talkative that might have accidentally stolen Hardon's thunder away, so she quickly moved everyone's attention to Hardon.
"Thanks, Captain Obvious! Of course! Hardon is the future leader of Kato's top giants, and his membership indeed must be higher than yours."
Others also returned the favor and flattered Hardon.
Hardon took a cup of tea and took a sip and answered with pride, "The VIP membership I have, was a gift exclusively given by the head of the Brook family, Martin Brook, but it just a membership card, nothing remarkable."
"That's Hardon, Hardon got all the respect even from the wealthiest family in Jako!"
Everyone touted.
Hardon glanced at Tracy with a smug look. He expected to have Tracy to notice him, but it seemed like Tracy had completely ignored his existence regardless of all the praises and compliments people gave him at that time by simply enjoying her food.
"Tracy, I'm going to the bathroom, can you come with me please?"
Marry requested suddenly.
Marry seemed to get a bit dizzy after lots of drinks.
"I'll be right back."
Tracy said, as she was worried about Marry anyway, and she got up and went with Marry.
After Tracy and Marry left the table, everyone looked at Baron with a bad expression.
"Baron, you peasant, you do not deserve Tracy. Let me guess, you married her for money, right?"
Hardon leaned on the seat arrogantly and looked at Baron with a sneer, "That's all right, I give you two million dollars to leave Tracy, she is a wonderful woman, you don't deserve her." Baron sneered back, "Two million dollars? Are you a miser?"
"Kiddo, two million dollars, should be more than enough for you, no haggle!"
One of Hardon's lackeys scolded Baron.
Hardon waved his hand and said, "Five million! That is my bottom line!"
As soon as the voice fell, he immediately wrote a check for five million dollars and placed it in front of Baron, regardless whether Baron would agree or not.
Baron picked up the check and looked at it, then he suddenly laughed.
"Why are you laughing?"
Hardon frowned.
"I laugh at the sorrow of the Maguire family! Tom Maguire's eldest grandson is such a short-sighted rubbish. If you became the head of the Maguire family, then it is doomed to fail!" Baron continued laughing.
Boom.
Hardon hit the table with his fist and roared, "How presumptuous! You dare to insult my own family like that, believe it or not, you will never see daylight again!" He made a death threat, and everyone else stood up.
Even if he knew that Baron must be good at fighting, but that time, they all felt it was worth it to stay with Hardon even if it might cost them a leg or a hand. Baron joked sarcastically, "I really want to see, what does a rubbish from the Maguire family get?"
Seeing Baron still remain a calm look, Hardon got furious.
At this moment, he felt like he was riding a tiger.
"Put away your arrogance and sit down! Otherwise, you really will never see daylight ever again!"
Baron picked up the teapot, filled himself with a good cup of tea, took a sip, squinted at Hardon and said.
Baron, himself alone, projected a high-wattage aura that suppressed everyone at that table, nobody moved a single step.
"What are you going to do?"
Finally, Tracy and Marry returned to the table. Everyone in that table all stood up. They all stared at Baron with stern eyes, and Tracy was shocked.
Baron smiled softly at Tracy, raised the five million dollars cheque in his hand, and said, "This is the cheque from Hardon. He said he envied our love. This five million dollars is a replenishment and a gift for
us!"
Everybody had different fascinating expressions after they heard what Baron just said.
Tracy looked very confused. However, she saw Baron blinking at her, she immediately reacted. It was definitely not what Baron said.
"Hardon, thank you then!"
Tracy smiled and thanked Hardon.
"I..."
Hardon flushed, only said the word "I", and then became completely speechless.0000
